KT 66 or NOS EL34

I have a modified Dynaco Stero 70 amp from Will Vincent that accepts either KT66 or EL34. I tied the stock EL 34 and swictched to the Gold LION KT66. The sound is bigger, more robust and dynamic with the KT 66. Just wondering if I substituted a NOS EL34 if they would better the KT66. does anyone have any experience with these tubes and what EL34's they would reccommend

My experience with those tubes in my Prima Luna 6 monos exactly mirrors that of the OP. The converse is that the EL34 is warmer sounding and more forgiving up top. I'd argue that, depending on your system's specific needs, you should choose the appropriate tube for that purpose.
